The Anchor Inn in South Queensferry is one of those pubs that have that welcoming, warm feeling! As…read moreyou approach the pub, it seems very welcoming with its light exterior and its signs advertising offers and its karaoke night. Inside, the pub is quite small, smaller than I expected. It wasn't very busy but enough to make it feel that it did have some atmosphere. The bar provides your usual range of drinks in any bar, however it does not offer a great selection of ales sadly. Prices are pretty good and the staff were helpful. A nice pub, good place for a few drinks.

This is a cute inn…read more For me, the room was quite warm. You can open windows, but the windows are old and don't stay open. I was very hot when I tried to sleep. There's no air conditioning. The room itself was nice, clean, and comfortable. You need to register your vehicle if you park in their car park. Their restaurant and bar and great. I had the steak with peppercorn sauce and it was tasty. They offered local brews and scotch. You need to make a reservation with the restaurant as it can get full quickly. The room itself is more noisy as it is closer to the tracks. I wouldn't stay here again due to temperature, unable to keep windows open, no AC, and how loud the railway is. But it was cute.

The Hawes Inn, at the far end of South Queensferry is one of the more well known pubs-hotels in the…read morearea. From the outside it looks quite traditional and quite small, however looks can be deceiving. The main bar is quite large and has an extensive bar. It has a good selection of ales, including Deuchers, so I was very chuffed with that. The bar has a good amount of wooden tables, suitable for groups during lunches and dinners. The exterior is quite traditional and at times the bar, due to its size partly, does feel quite cold at times. The food on offer is mostly your normal pub group food and is not that expensive, but not that cheap. Defiantly worth a try if your in the area.

The view from outside and inside gives you a great view of the old Railbridge and newer bridges. Along the walls they include the history of how the bridge was built. Food: I got the Scottish Breakfast and it was phenomenal! The black pudding and haggis were both delicious so don't let their descriptions scare you. Our server was extremely helpful and kind. Highly recommend this place while in Edinburgh.

Let's be up front - it's a Brewer's Fayre. So that means a limited menu of a certain quality. In my…read moreopinion that limits it to a maximum of 4 stars. Having said all that, we regularly visit (especially for lunch). The food has never disappointed us - never had to return anything. The staff are friendly. And the prices are right. Wouldn't recommend it as a special night out - but it hits the spot for a cheeky pub lunch.

The Queens Crossing is a nice place to stay overnight, although if you don't book in advance then…read morerooms can be expensive. They do offer reduced rates the quicker you book up, and because of this you are better booking sooner rather than later. There is lots of parking including large disabled spaces, and there is also room for larger vehicles such as vans or smaller Lorries. There is a large play area out in the back of the restaurant, which is suitable for younger children. The staff are always friendly and the food is always of a high standard.

Before I paid a visit to the Two Bridges I had heard that it did have a slightly poor reputation…read more Most of the comments that I had heard was that it had a very poor level of customer service and the food took ages! So, I decided that when I was there I would have a quick drink, a good excuse for a nosey. When I was there the bar part of the inn wasn't that busy so I managed to get served pretty quickly. The bar itself has your normal drinks on offer and doesn't expand to much into the world of real ales. Prices aren't cheap, but not too bad. The place is quite traditional with a hint of modernity about it. People looked quite happy with the food, and the portions looked reasonable enough. The best thing about this place though is the amazing views out towards the Firth of Forth. If you visit this place, get a table with a view!

Given that this restaurant has a prime location overlooking the forth and both the rail and road…read morebridge we were very dissppointed by our visit. We visited at the latter end of the summer when it was busy but not mobbed. We went in to find a table for a drink with a view to eat. All the empty tables were dirty and no one made an effort to clear one for us. we stood about for a few minutes and as no one made any attempt to help we left and went elsewhere. This could be a fantastic place but needs a bit of a push.

Children are welcome until 8pm and the pub is very accommodating for small or large families. They also have a lovely children's menu, which is very well priced and there is a wide variety to suit even the pickiest of kids. They have various themed nights and regularly do karaoke nights which are always very popular. For the children they often do competitions, like drawing or colouring in.

Inside, the hotel has a cosy, smallish bar which is full of character. The bar was quite busy when I was in and was full of people chatting away. The bar serves your typical drinks and also the traditional Scottish lagers and ale's. On top of that the bar also serves good hearty pub food. The menu is quite traditional and also provides a set menu for pensioners as well! Food can be ordered to quite late on in the evening. The food comes in generous portions and certainly does the job when it comes to filling you up! Defiantly one of the better bars in the centre of town, Burgh Arms also is a great place for a bite for lunch.
